Very nice, Elaine and let me just continue with the Florida theme.
My Tibouchina is just exploding in purple flowers.
The hibiscus are happy:
With no frost for the last two winters and all of this rain, my skinny little mango tree has grown into a fat large mango tree. There is no way to protect it now.
Argentine pampas grass in bloom:
Pertty flower on this rose of sharon:
From the ginger bed:
The cherries jubilee allamanda has taken over the entrance to the rose garden.
Lots of orange bird-of-paradise flowers at the front of the house.
One little Hydrangea still blooming in the shade.
This Bougainvillea aborea has been blooming since early March.
All of the red firespike are blooming up a storm.
The Jatropha multifida or coral plant that I planted just a year ago is very happy.
I see some fungus spots on a pomegranate. I don't think it will bother the fruit inside but I'll have to research it.
Finally, lots of new growth coming from the stubs of my yellow tabebuia tree. If you remember, two hugh branches broke off while we were away on vacation. I just made clean cuts and hoped to see new growth.
